Frequently asked questions
What is a B+ in GPA?
On the standard 4.0 scale, a B+ is worth 3.3 GPA points. On a 4.3 scale (used by some institutions to reward A+), it remains 3.3 points.
What is an A minus worth in GPA points?
An A− (A minus) is worth 3.7 GPA points on both the 4.0 and 4.3 scales. Both scales use the same values for A−.
Is a C+ a 2.3 or 2.5 GPA?
A C+ is 2.3 GPA points on the standard scale. The 0.3-point increment for a plus grade is universal: C (2.0) + 0.3 = C+ (2.3).
Does a D count toward GPA?
Yes, D grades count toward GPA on the standard scale. A D is worth 1.0 point, D+ is 1.3, and D− is 0.7. However, some institutions set higher minimum grades for major requirements or won't accept D grades for transfer credit. Check your school's policy.
What letter grade is a 3.7 GPA?
A 3.7 GPA corresponds to an A− (A minus). On the 4.0 scale, it sits between A (4.0) and B+ (3.3).
Why do some schools use a 4.3 scale?
A 4.3 scale allows schools to reward top performance by giving A+ a higher point value (4.3) than a regular A (4.0). This lets advanced or honors students exceed a 4.0 GPA, which reflects rigorous coursework.
